We'll all get in. Saturday will be half empty (it always is) and they have a big field on the Sunday (120 usually - remember they send out 24 cars on the track at once with PIARC).

Over the 2 days you'll get plenty of clean laps but there will also be a few laps of door to door fun to be had as well with fields like this. Especially since PIARC don't group cars according to lap times so you can get some big differences in speeds (but we can all put our names down in the same group so it is no big deal).

And good luck getting Benno to PI even though it is a Sunday and so he has no excuse. Maybe if we all say his muscles are under developed (or at least the important ones are) we might be able to coax him into it. But I'm not saying it cause I still need him to look after my car :thumbsup:

I'm sure the car could do it. The problem is all you northern franginpani loving poofs are so used to driving around on your dinky little racetracks with tops speeds of 87km/hr that you aren't going to know what to do when you run out of revs in 3rd.

But I'll help you out Pete. Just remember the advise you gave me at Wakefield and use it at PI. "Keep it flat through turn 1 and you'll be right. If you lift off you are a poof." :dry:

LOL...you havent seen the footage of Fatz at "The Ring" ? I think most corners were flat ! :sick:

That, combined with my understandign of how much he loves his piss, especially when its free. Well he wont let a little thing like lack of willing car stop him from being showered with free beer for his display of lunacy. Not like Victorians, who like being showered in other things golden...farkin twisted units! :dry:

lol :(

I remember that advice myself, among many other interesting points

So, how fast through turn one, with and without 2/4wd/ aero aids? Seriously, but I doubt anyone goes more than 200, the rest is piss and wind :rofl:

Aero aids? Farkin Geezus...what? Fast enough that the id blow through the wall on the infield as easily as my troopers punch through a prophylactic :rant:

BTW - You're all a bunch of girls.

Especially you Bris!

Hope you have a healthy back! Because your going to be doing plenty of bending over picking up your teeth after this girl knocks them out :(

Depends how big your balls are...

4wd doesn't help you get around the corner any faster, it just helps you get out of the corner faster... the rest is in grip and suspension. On street tyres you may do 170-180 entry, on R comps, probably 190-200+ - like i said, how big are your nuts?

Im bringing the trolley jack and stands. So that means GTR drivers should bring armed security. Turn your backs for a second and your cars will lose the front driveshafts and an AFM will probably be unplugged as well.

Or my old favourite. When you have parked your buckets after the first session i will poor some oil under your cars so you all shit yourselves and park it for the day. This day shall be mine i tell you...MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY!!! who's idea was that!! :)

This thread has to be one of the most entertaining one on the forums!!!!

I'll definetly be there for this, but probably only the Sunday, don't need the Saturday practice... :)

Go Jack and this is going to be the biggest track day in Australia ever for GTR's and others. How many sleeps left???

I can't wait. Hey Jack I will follow you to learn this track which I have been playing over in my mind since I was there in Easter. I will then give it the button on the straight with the boost turned right up this time. I reckon with good condition and the bigger rear wheels and suspension geometry mods and more I will be 45's or better.

I've heard you hit like a girl anyways... My teeth will be fine! ;)

Hope you have a healthy back! Because your going to be doing plenty of bending over picking up your teeth after this girl knocks them out :domokun:

John - we'll see if we can get Frank and Kennedy down who have both run in the 43's before (both R33 GT-R's). But I'm also going to be gunning for 45's.

Also mate - we're coming up to Wakefield and EC on November 8th and 9th respectively.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
